Coachy Review

Reviewed by Tom · Founder & lead reviewer

What it actually does

Coachy hosts online courses and the members areas around them. You upload video lessons, organize them into modules, and drip content on a schedule if you like. Students log into a branded members area, track progress, take quizzes, and earn completion certificates. The platform handles video hosting itself, so you are not wiring up Vimeo or worrying about download protection. Payments typically run through Digistore24 - the dominant checkout and affiliate network in the German-speaking market - which also means an affiliate program for your course is essentially built in, though other processors can be connected. What Coachy deliberately does not try to be is a full marketing suite: email sequences, elaborate funnels, and website building are mostly left to the tools you already use.

Pricing and value, honestly

Coachy's plans start at roughly EUR 30 per month, with higher tiers raising limits on courses, members, and adding features like advanced quiz options and team accounts. Against Kajabi - which starts several times higher - the value case is easy if course hosting is the job to be done. Against Teachable and Thinkific, pricing is comparable, and the decision comes down to ecosystem fit rather than cost. Two honest caveats: prices are in euros, which US buyers should factor in, and because marketing features are thin, your real stack cost includes whatever email and funnel tools you bolt on. For sellers targeting German-speaking audiences via Digistore24, the integrated affiliate machinery adds value that generic platforms cannot match.

Should you buy it?

Coachy makes the most sense for two groups. First, creators selling to German-speaking or EU audiences, where the Digistore24 integration, GDPR posture, and local ecosystem are genuine advantages rather than trivia. Second, budget-conscious creators anywhere who want clean course hosting without paying Kajabi prices for marketing features they will not use. The English interface works, but go in with clear eyes: when you hit a snag, the best help threads and tutorials may be in German, and the template selection will feel modest next to the big US platforms. Skip Coachy if you want an all-in-one marketing machine, need deep third-party integrations, or depend on an active English-speaking user community. Test the trial with one real course module before committing.

Best for

Coaches and course creators who want a no-fuss, GDPR-minded home for video courses and members areas without Kajabi-level pricing.
